Mark Walter has reportedly backed LA Dodgers co-owner Todd Boehly by joining the latter's bid to buy Chelsea.
The US billionaire, himself worth an estimate £3.3billion ($4.4bn), has according to The Athletic and The Telegraph joined the consortium bidding to own the Premier League side.
There is however no indication how much money the 62-year-old could or will contribute to the bid, which will have to be submitted by Thursday April 14.
That is the new deadline set for the four bidders looking to buy the club, handing the interested parties an extension from the initial cut-off date of Monday April 11 to finalise their offers.
